1. Question :
Find the value of a for which a+5, 3a-10 and 2a+a/2 are in AP
Correct Answer:
10
Explanation:
Since a+5, 3a-10 and 2a+a/2 are in AP, we have
2(3a-10)=(a+5)+(2a+a/2)
6a-20=a+5+2a+a/2
6a-20=(6a+a)/2+5
12a-40=7a+10
12a-7a=10+40
5a=50
a=10
2. Question :
A retailer buys 25 items from a wholesaler. The total price for which the flawless items were sold was equal
to the price that he had paid for buying the 25 items and 20% of the items were defected. Find the gain percent
of the retailer.
Correct Answer:
25%
Explanation:
Number of items purchased=25
Defected items=20/100*25
=500/100=5
Let the cost price of each item be Rs.x
Total cost price=25x
Number of items bought=25
Total selling price=25x
Number of items sold=25-5=20
Gain%=[(25x/20-25x/25)/25x/25]*100
=(25x-20x)/20x*100
=25%
3. Question :
Find the sum of all two-digit natural numbers that are divisible by 4.
Correct Answer:
1188
Explanation:
The smallest and the largest such numbers are 12 and 96
The numbers form an AP with common difference d=4 and the first term a=12
The last term is 96 and let there be n terms in the AP
nth term is given by
Tn=a+(n-1)d
96=12+(n-1)4
96=12+4n-4
88=4n
n=88/4=22
Sum of n terms is given Sn=(n/2)[2a+(n-1)d]
=(22/2)[2*12+(22-1)4]
=11(24+21*4)
=11(24+84)
=11*108=1188
The sum of the required numbers is 1188
